How to cook deliciously - Cemetery Cake

1. Stage

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt and then set the dry ingredients aside. In a saucepan combine the butter, water and cocoa and bring them to a boil over medium heat. Pour the hot liquids into the flour mixture and beat well to combine them; then beat in the sour cream and eggs.

2. Stage

Pour the batter into a greased 13x9-inch baking pan. Bake the cake at 350°F for 35 to 38 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven, and let it cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.

3. Stage

While the cake is cooling, combine the frosting’s butter, milk and cocoa in a saucepan and bring them to a boil. Remove your saucepan from the heat, and stir in the confectioners’ sugar and vanilla. Pour the frosting over the still-warm cake, spreading it or tilting the pan if necessary so the cake is evenly covered. Crumble the Oreo cookies and spread them over the frosting while it’s still warm and soft. Cool the cake completely.

4. Stage

For tombstones, use icing to decorate the oblong vanilla cookies with words (RIP) or spooky faces, and place them on the cake. Pipe or spoon mounds of whipped topping onto the cake as ghosts, and use the decorator’s gel or icing to add eyes or mouths to them as needed. Refrigerate the cake for at least one hour after decorating it, so all of the components have time to set. Just before serving, add the pumpkin candies and gummy worms if you’ve decided to use them.
